Game menu not alowing keyboard or mouse input

[Former user]

Unable to browse the menus. options.xml says that <option ID="OptionsPrereleaseInputManager" DisplayText="Prerelease: Use new input manager" Category="Controls" Type="Checkbox" Default="No"></option> but the game says it is on. I can enable mouse input but I can only go into options screen and out again, not actually change anything,

I tried reinstalling, verifying files, changing patch numbers, editing xml, different keyboards. any ideas?

Delete playeroptions.json in the save directory or go into control mappings via mouse and hit restore defaults, then you should have mappings. Options.xml is just the list of options not their state. Unchecking prerelease input will also fix it by reverting to the legacy input manager.
